Light in color, delicate in texture and sprinkled with an intricate pattern of eyes and holes, Monteo Tavoliere by la Casearia makes an impression on the eyes first, then the palate. Monteo Tavoliere is a table cheese made from cow's milk from select dairies in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. It ages for a minimum of 60 days until it is soft and buttery with an abundance of holes. One attribute of Monteo is its terrific melting ability. Even when heated, it maintains its structure-proof of a good cooking cheese. Monteo Tavoliere is a versatile table cheese that complements many recipes in a healthy Mediterranean diet. A must try for fans of Northern Italian mountain cheeses like Asiago and Crucolo.

Very good cheese, only thing is that the one I received did not have wholes and I am wondering why.

A Little Milder than I remembered

Hmmm, seem to think the last time I ordered this, it wasn't so mild, almost bland. But my guests enjoyed it on a tray that had cheeses from this mild one to the Beemster loaded with "finish."

big stinker

Listed under semi-hard, actually a soft spreadable with a knife cheese. Not a table or platter serving cheese. Not for me.

Just Tried it

This was a strongly flavored and very pleasant cheese. I thought that it would work well in recipes that require brie, however it would provide a different flavor. Thus taste testing first in combination with anything like fruit or fruit-based products is mandatory!
